"Moving to Write - why big movements matter in little learners"
Discover the vital link between physical development and early writing in our latest blog by Early Years Consultant Suzanne Taylor. Drawing on her extensive experience and recent research, Suzanne explores how gross motor skills—like climbing, balancing, and crawling—lay the essential foundation for fine motor control and writing readiness.
This blog kicks off our Moving to Write programme, a series of events and resources designed to support early years professionals in nurturing confident young writers through movement-rich learning.
